These are designated off-leash areas for dogs, but owners must keep their animals close and well-supervised as coyotes, bears and deer also make their homes in these areas. Sechelt’s East Porpoise Bay neighbourhood has several networks of walking trails, notably in the Community Forest and just a bit further up the road, at Hidden Grove (which has a nice, big sign to let you know it’s there.) Nearest the parking area, the well-groomed and well-marked blue trail is designed to be wheelchair-accessible. More challenging trails following the parks varying elevations, in and out of ravines, require appropriate footwear. Also designated an off-leash area, the same rules apply as for Kinnickinnick.

The property is road accessible from the full service community of Powell River. Population 18,000, Hospital, airport, major banks, building supply stores, Starbucks, and Walmart. From Vancouver the property can be accessed in less than 3.5 hours.

Because of the size, distance from Vancouver and access to major services the property is ideal for a recreational real estate development. But if you are not a developer and are just an investor looking for a great investment and a place for your family to enjoy for generations to come the development potential will always exist in the eyes of another Buyer.

  • Princess Louisa Inlet Wall, Journey to the Center of the Earth
    AAC Publications Princess Louisa Inlet Wall, Journey to the Center of the Earth Canada, British Columbia, Coast Mountains, Princess Louisa Inlet The Princess Louisa Inlet Wall, rising about 1,400 meters at the head of a fjord off Jervis Inlet. (1) PLI Trail (17 pitches, ED1/2 V 5.10+, Brodie-Rowat, 2002). (2) Journey to the Center of the Earth (25 pitches, VI 5.10+ C2, Besen-Heinrich, 2019). Neither party reached the summit, which may be unclimbed. Photo by Noah Besen Inspired by a story in the 2018 AAJ, which heralded unclimbed walls along the BC coast, I had been curing my winter blues with virtual flights through Google Earth. On the last day of 2018, I stumbled onto a low-res photo of a hulking mass of swamp and stone geotagged to Princess Louisa Inlet. Research revealed this wall to be 1,400m tall, with only one known route: PLI Trail (17 pitches, ED1/2 V 5.10+), established by John Brodie and Peter Rowat over the course of nearly two decades, and ending on a prominent pinncalce about halfway up the wall. Interest hastily morphed into a foolhardy obsession for me and Noah Besen, my partner for this project. Eight months later, in August 2019, we stood beneath that wall with our necks craning to see the granite dissolve into roiling cloud far above. With only a few Yosemite trade walls between us and not a single first ascent, we had gotten so caught up in scheming and dreaming that we neglected reality until we were starkly in it.
